The Carpool Guys
The Carpool Guys Podcast is where real-life dads — Asher Dworetsky, Jon Ackerman, and Dave “From Flatbush” Tannenbaum — share unfiltered conversations about family, fatherhood, work, and the wild ride of midlife.
They’ve made mistakes, learned lessons (mostly the hard way), and have just enough life experience to be dangerous with advice. From career crossroads to raising kids in a digital world, from marriage moments to dad fails, The Carpool Guys dive into it all with honesty, humor, and heart.
Whether you’re commuting, carpooling, or just catching your breath between responsibilities, this is your front-seat pass to authentic midlife banter, questionable wisdom, and a few laughs along the way.

Not All Heroes Wear Capes—Some Donate Kidneys (An Interview With Recent Donor Eli Rosenberg)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What day is it? Honestly… does it even matter anymore?
The guys kick things off by trying to figure out the day of the week, debating “real feel” time, and reacting to feedback from the last episode (yes, we read the comments... keep them coming).
From there, the conversation turns more real as Asher, Dave, and Jon dive back into Aliyah anxiety — that very familiar emotional tug-of-war between loving life in the U.S. while feeling deeply connected to Israel. Listener messages spark honest reflections, meaningful laughs, and a reminder that this tension is something a lot of people quietly carry.
Then the episode takes a powerful and inspiring turn with a very special guest: Eli Rosenberg. Eli shares his incredible story of donating a kidney through Renewal, walking us through the process, the support of the community, and what it’s really like to make a life-changing decision that impacts another human being forever. It’s moving, eye-opening, and deeply humbling, and somehow still fits perfectly into a Carpool Guys conversation.
This episode has it all: laughs, big questions, real emotions, and a reminder of how much good one person — and one community — can do.
Buckle up.
